Lot of activities for the cruiser. In order of best to least.

Eleuthera Pineapple Farm was a entertaining and very "local". Russell gave our group of 12 a wonderful tour and a bit of history on the pineapple industry.

Emmette Farrington….a wonderful personality and he is wonderful ambassador. We ate, drank and chatted with the very kind folks of Alicetown.

Alicetown. Expect to wave a lot. Expect the local children to engage you.

Organic Farm is a beautifully landscaped nursery and local store.

The caves are a good distraction. Graffiti is a shame, but it is still a good time.

FOOD
The Front Porch is a 5 star foodies spot. The well done menu and ambiance. Pricey but you will not find a place like this back home. We indulged and enjoyed.
Twin Brothers is a solid menu of good food.

Holding was excellent in a blow that started West and ended up 36 hours later from the North. Sustained winds of 25+ and gust of 32+. I would not trust any of the moorings.

The staff is top notch. Professional management and " runs a tight ship". Facilities not new but very clean and well kept. Great selection of restaurants and services. Very fortunate to have stayed there a month. Look forward to my visit in 2023.

Very pretty Georgia scenery with Spanish Moss covered Live Oaks and Palm trees….photograph worthy! Came in at dusk and fairly easy if you have hands on dock to assist. The small shop had the essential bug repellent and ice cream. Not too crazy about the 40 cent bump in diesel overnight, but still a competitive price. Dog friendly as well.

Would return for peaceful nights sleep.
